Remote worker thinking about Opp

Hi all, You can expect to pay around $723 for rent here. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Am I overthinking this? Cheers. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 13 years here, that's my honest assessment.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are better than expected, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Houston and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Meadowbrook. It's excellent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in retail you might struggle.

People: Generally solid. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: tough. Tons of options if you like sushi.

Definitely worth checking out..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is safety. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Worth doing your research before committing.
